The art of making mixtapes may have evolved into the art of making a great playlist, but what many fans don’t realize is that sitting down to make the set list for a live show is like the band making a mixtape of their own music for you. It’s all about wooing you and getting you exactly where the band want you.

“The title came from a mixtape that I used to make,” McCoy finished for him. “That was my way of wooing girls when I was younger, was making them mixtapes. I made a mixtape for an ex-girlfirend of mine named Lisa Gibson. Hi Lisa!”

“That’s a great one. The Fresh Prince, I believe it’s in the song ‘Parents Just Don’t Understand,’ after he’s stolen his dad’s Ferrari and he says, ‘Come on and take a ride with a hell of a guy.’ I think that’s a pretty cool line.”
